Critically Acclaimed Documentary ‘Been Here Stay Here’ Continues to Sell Out and GetsExtended Run at Roseland Theatre, July 18–22

Onancock, VA — After an incredibly successful week-long run (7 screenings and over 1,200 tickets sold) at the Roseland Theatre in June, Been Here Stay Here—a quietly powerful portrait of life on Tangier Island— returns for an additional four screenings.

The film will screen at the historic Roseland Theatre in Onancock from July 18–22:

– Friday, July 18 at 7pm

– Saturday, July 19 at 7pm

– Sunday, July 20 at 4pm

– Tuesday, July 22 at 7:30pm

Told with rare access and quiet observation, Been Here Stay Here captures the enduring spirit of one of the Bay’s most iconic—and most endangered—communities. At a time of growing division and climate anxiety, the film offers something increasingly rare: intimacy, empathy, and a chance to see the people behind the headlines.

Tangier Island is often cited as a symbol of sea level rise. But this film refuses to reduce its story to crisis. Instead, it offers a portrait of resilience, faith, and deep-rooted belonging. Audiences meet watermen, churchgoers, and families who have remained on the island for generations, even as the world around them changes.

Directed by David Usui, co-director of In Transit with the late Albert Maysles—Been Here Stay Here is not a traditional climate documentary. There are no voiceovers, no statistics. Just the rhythms of life, filmed with patience, respect, and care.
